Oh suuure there a short straight tracks like the one by me that let owners of brand X cars brag about their lap times.. But everyone can relate to a 1/4 mile.

These local Exige owners who rant about their high-G early Sunday morning runs out by the GM Proving Grounds (who knew - or cared..?) make me LAUGH. One guy I met probably weighs as much as his car.

whoop dee frikkin doo

Anyone can build a dedicated short track car that doesn't require a lot of HP.

When did track times instead of 1/4 mile times ever generate car sales ??

Never

Ever hear of the Nurburgring? It sells cars. At least to the consumer that is interested in complete performance.
